Add your name: Standing up to ICE is a Christ-like action. Once again, Christian clergy and lay leaders are showing moral leadership by resisting Trump's cruel attacks on immigrants and people of color. ICE and its allies are attacking them for it. act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/clergy-...

This is unconstitutional. They don’t care about the laws.
NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”
for real!
He's the fucking governor. If he wants the National Guard in Louisiana, he can do it himself. This isn't about that. It's about making a public display of ideological subservience to totalitarianism.
#BREAKING
Governor Jeff Landry submits request to send in 1,000 Louisiana National Guard troops to cities like New Orleans.

The governor cites a rise in crime despite New Orleans reporting a massive declines in crime since 2023.

Stephen Miller: "The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me ... we are gonna do that."

This piece by @froomkin.bsky.social needs to make into the Slack of the @nytimes.com

It is absolutely ridiculous that Adrienne Villa's death has basically gone unreported in local & national media

An anti-ICE protester being held on $1.3 million bail found dead in a courtroom jail cell & crickets from media. Should make you question why they want this kept quiet!
